 LOGAN COUNTY.
 Hawkins Corley, deputy county treasurer of Logan county was taken
  to Ft. Smith on the 4th inst, by Detective Clay, for the robbery of the safe of the Logan county treas urer. The robbery took place on the 17th of February, and detectives have been working up the case ever since, until the guilt has been finally fixed on Hawkins Corley, Hiram and Jeff Fort and Henry Nichols, of Par is, Logan county. The circumstance es of the robbery are about as fol lows: The Fort boys and Nichols in- duced Hawkins to ascertain how much money the Sheriff had collect ed for taxes. The sheriff told him, but, as precautionary measure, sent the money to Little Rock and deposited It there. The robbers were not advised of this, however, and gong to the sheriff's office blew open his safe, but found it empty. They then opened the treasurer's safe, robbed it of $11 200, broke the lock to pieces, and satisfied that they had covered up their tracks, they remained at Paris, and seemed to feel confident that their crime would not be unearthed. Great ex- citeinent prevails, for these men are all well connected, and heretofore stood high in the community. The Fort boys are on bond, Nichols is at large, and Hawkins IS now in the United States jail at Fort Smith.
